Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Zhou Heng knew everything perfectly well and saw things very clearly: "More than fifty years ago, when the Dragon Cult caused trouble, our Zhou family was severely weakened. The Su family, the Zheng family, and those small aristocratic families led by them were extremely arrogant back then. The reason they are willing to come and apologize now is simply because they have found that the situation has exceeded their expectations and they are afraid that I will cause them trouble after I fully rise to power in the future."

Madam Zhou agreed with this statement: "That's indeed the case."

Zhou Heng looked at his parents again, seeking their opinions: "Dad, Mom, how do you plan to take revenge?"

Father Zhou wanted to maximize his profits: "We've already killed all those who tried to ambush us back then, so we've avenged our main grudges. But the Demon Kun Zheng family, the Heavenly Fox Su family, and those few smaller aristocratic families have now delivered themselves to our doorstep. We don't need to be polite to them; we should just squeeze them dry."

Although Zhou's mother possessed a gentle demeanor, she also had a shrewd side: "That's what I think too. Let's not even mention those smaller aristocratic families; I'm afraid their clan treasuries don't have many good things. But the Heavenly Fox Su family and the Demon Kun Zheng family are different. Although they have been aristocratic families for less than three thousand years and are not ancient aristocratic families, large aristocratic families are still large aristocratic families, and they definitely have a lot of good things."

Zhou Heng already had a plan in mind: "Since that's the case, I know what to do."

The Zhou family patriarch immediately declared, "Heng'er, go ahead and do it boldly! Although King Yu Yan and King Zhen Gang are eighth-tier King-level Beast Tamers, you now have Emperor Xuan Chen behind you, so you have nothing to fear from them."

Zhou Heng then asked, "Have the people from the Golden Toad Fu family, the Black Bird Yin family, and the White Python Dong family all arrived? Where are they now?"

These three families were small aristocratic families that were dependent on the Tianhu Su family. So back then, some members of these three families also participated in the siege of Zhou's father and mother, along with the daughter of the old patriarch of the Tianhu Su family and the son of the supreme ancestor of the Mokun Zheng family.

The strongest among their clansmen are only seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers.

The old patriarch Zhou nodded: "They've all come—the Marquis Guangyun of the Fu family (Golden Toad), the Marquis Feixing of the Yin family (Black Bird), and the Marquis Danluo of the Dong family (White Python), not one is missing."

Zhou Heng then asked, "Where are they now?"

The old patriarch Zhou pointed out the location: "These three people, along with Jade Beauty King and Zhen Gang King, are currently in the Ancestor's Treasure Hall."

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment, then told his relatives his initial plan: "After we get there, Grandpa and Grandma, don't rush to speak. Let me probe first. Then, Dad and Mom, you can use your words to provoke these five families. You are now the Alliance's special envoys, and you are my parents. Moreover, this is the Canglan Plane, so they will have no choice but to endure it. When the time is right, I will put pressure on them. This time, we will make them bleed profusely."

Zhou Heng's four relatives exchanged glances and nodded in unison: "This is a good plan! It's settled then."

Then, Zhou Heng directly shared the powerful skills of the Star-Devouring Kunpeng and used the Four Directions Universe to travel freely, instantly bringing the Zhou family patriarch, Zhou's wife, Zhou's father, Zhou's mother, and two junior disciples to the place where the Wanbao Ancestor lived.

Ancestor Wanbao sat upright on a crimson coral, with two coral thrones opposite him, where two eighth-tier monarch beast tamers sat facing him.

On the left is a man in a snow-white robe who looks to be in his forties or fifties. Although he is no longer young, he is extremely handsome. He is the current patriarch of the Tianhu Su family, Yu Yan Wang.

On the right is a short-haired old man who looks to be in his sixties or seventies. He is incredibly burly, with white hair standing up like steel needles. He is Zhen Gang Wang, the current ancestor of the Zheng family of the Demon Kun.

Jade King is only a little over three hundred years old, but among the eighteen official elders of the alliance, his combat power is second only to Ancestor Wanbao and Ancestor Linglong, ranking third.

King Zhengang is over 430 years old this year, a little older than both Ancestor Wanbao and Ancestor Linglong, but his actual combat strength ranks in the middle among the elders, so he is only the tenth elder.

Below them stood three seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers.

The Marquis of Guangyun of the Fu family, the Golden Toad, is an old man with completely white hair and beard; the Marquis of Feixing of the Yin family, the Black Bird, is a middle-aged man with a stern face; and the Marquis of Danluo of the Dong family, the White Python, is an old woman who looks over sixty.

Upon seeing Zhou Heng's sudden appearance, Ancestor Wanbao stroked his beard.

King Yu Yan and King Zhen Gang stood up together and said, "Greetings, Little Alliance Leader."

The three seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers bowed deeply and said, "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader!"

Zhou Heng gave a forced smile, not even glancing at the three seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers. Instead, he put on a show of force for King Yu Yan and King Zhen Gang: "Third Elder and Tenth Elder are too kind. Although I am my master's disciple, the title of Little Alliance Leader is just a title bestowed upon me by others, not a real position. Please follow the rules of aristocratic families and call me by my clan name, Yu Heng."

The Jade Beauty King of the Heavenly Fox Su family remained unfazed, subtly defusing Zhou Heng's difficult question. His words were impeccable: "Although you haven't been formally appointed as the Young Alliance Leader, you are indeed the Old Alliance Leader's personal disciple. Moreover, among the Old Alliance Leader's personal disciples, only the Young Alliance Leader possesses an SSS-level second talent, qualifying you to succeed the Old Alliance Leader. Furthermore, the Old Alliance Leader personally stated when you became his disciple that you would be the Alliance's Young Alliance Leader. Therefore, this title of Young Alliance Leader is entirely well-deserved for you, so please do not refuse."

Zhou Heng gave Jade Face King a meaningful look before turning his gaze to Zhen Gang King: "Does the Tenth Elder also think so?"

Zheng Gang King of the Demon Kun family knew the saying that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he simply said in a low voice, "Of course, the young alliance leader is well-deserved."

Zhou Heng walked straight past them and stood before Ancestor Wanbao: "Ancestor, I'm back."

Ancestor Wanbao patted the crimson coral: "Quickly sit down next to me."

Zhou Heng flew directly onto the crimson coral and sat down next to Wanbao Ancestor.

Then, Zhou Heng said to King Yu Yan and King Zhen Gang, "Third Elder, Tenth Elder, please take a seat as well!"

"Thank you, Alliance Leader." King Yu Yan and King Zhen Gang sat back on the coral throne.

Below, nine more coral thrones appeared out of thin air, and the Zhou family patriarch, the Zhou matriarch, the Zhou father and mother, two junior disciples, plus three seventh-level noble beast tamers from small families sat on them.

King Yu Yan and King Zhen Gang looked at the Star Devouring Kunpeng, which had shrunk in size but maintained its divine Kun form, beside Zhou Heng. Their eyes revealed extremely complex expressions, including fear, envy, and resentment.

The Jade King of the Celestial Fox Su family possesses a mid-level mythical beast as its strongest tamed beast. While it seems close to reaching the high-level mythical quality, its evolution to that level remains a distant dream.

As for the Zhen Gang King of the Zheng family of the Demon Kun, his strongest beast was only a lower-level mythical-quality beast, which was not even comparable to the Jade Face King.
